The students that work at this library have too much time on their hands. Please explain the logic…read morethat one designated section of the library is safe to eat in and have masks down but the others are not. The fourth floor is magically safer than all the others? I received NO warning while drinking water and was told I had to leave immediately because I had my mask down. I wasn't asked to pull it up, I was told to leave immediately. Absolutely insane that I can't have my mask down for 15 seconds to drink water and be kicked out without any warning. There is no federal, state, or COUNTY law that mandates masks be worn. What if I did not have the resources I do and the library was the only safe place for me to study? There is a gross over reach of power going on. I understanding wanting people to wear masks but to kick someone out completely without a single warning or asking to fix the problem first is insanely uncalled for. Please adapt better policies.

They always have the newest books but you must get them fast (2 week limit). My favorite section is their DVD collection, they have newest releases and the oldest classics. Their printing services are fantastic! It's still 10 cents per copy and free scanning privileges. They have an area of audio books, which I adore even though my family says it's cheating. You can even check out CD's! Oh my goodness guys, they have canned food drives 1-2 times a year that cover your late fees! I always take advantage of this event and bring my entire pantry even though I owe at most $2. You can self checkout but BEWARE if you have a late fee the computer will say "uh oh" in which everyone turns to look at the culprit lol I've managed to rack up $1.80 and I swear my notification sounds like Megadeath "UH OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!! My receipts always let me know how much I've saved, so this year I've saved almost $2,600 , YES! The staff are the best I've ever encountered! If anyone ever looks lost or confused they go right to you, so sweet. ************************************ Friends of the Library is located to your right hand side once you walk in to the library. I LOVE THIS STORE! You can get a popular paperback book for $1, and newest hardbacks are $4. My first visit I bought 11 paperbacks (Nicholas Sparks/Allende/Jennifer Weiner/Evanovich/Orsen Welles/Yann Martel) all for $11.88! Please note that all funds are applied to creating community programs that enhance all areas of life. They recently had their annual book sale and raised $26,000! Way to go!

I've been here twice now, both times to visit the tax-assessors office to get a license plate (for…read moremy car, then my motorcycle), as I am a recent new resident to Texas. The parking lot is quite spacious; you won't have difficulty finding a place to park. Expect to go through a security checkpoint much like at an airport when you enter the building-- you'll need to remove things in your pockets and the like. The security team is pretty friendly though and will even make small talk to add comfort to the situation. The first time I went there was no line at all at the tax assessor's office. The second time there was a semi-sizeable line (approximately a dozen folks ahead of us) but it moved quickly! The clerks are polite and efficient. I do suggest bringing a checkbook if you have one to avoid a fee for the use of credit/debit card. This building is quite an aesthetic one for a government building and they made quite the effort to spread Christmas cheer with their decorations! Even the clerks had decorated their cubicles with their own fun festive flair.

What a boondoggle! The good reviews are from YEARS ago. Something happened, what I don't know…read more Dont go here in person unless you want to wait sitting on the floor - see my photos. Send your tax payment in via registered mail, yes there is a small charge, but the wait to pay in person is SO LONG, for me over an hour. My time is worth the few dollars instead of waiting for an hour. I previously lived in Harris Co & they had a quick EXPRESS drop off for payments that had a check made out. HARRIS CO was a county of millions, yet the wait was so short through express there. Why so long here, especially since I didn't wait until the last minute.? Here, they need a mystery shopper to prompt them to expedite the process. It is disgustingly slow.

Parking tickets, paid garage parking if you don't have time to take a bus across town to get to the campus and hike to class. When I was attending, the construction was so bad on the roads I popped a tire on a rock and was stranded for 4 hours. Professors are absolutely terrible. They are condescending and rude. The course work is absolutely ridiculous across majors, a lot of professors don't clearly define projects but then grade you as if they did. Healthcare Administration program professors mock students and spread misinformation, try to make students fearful of their future careers and financial courses are useless to the job, an old man talking about his "knowledge" about healthcare finances. Required reading: the book he wrote. Project management course, I worked on a commercial for the school, professor took off points because she didn't like the commercial and said it wasn't "relevant" to healthcare administration because I didn't include stock images of an administrative job. I had to call professors out regularly for their unethical and insufficient grading. All of this during my two years there, and I had at least two professors openly mock me as if I was dumb. The last straw was them telling me to work 40 hour weeks in residency that I had to secure from their "approved list" with no pay or promise of a job in the end. Changed my major the next week. One professor told me I would be "working at McDonald's" if I changed my major and another mocked a response I had to the lesson in a sarcastic tone both in front of the class. I felt totally embarrassed and absolutely alone, overworked and overwhelmed while attending this school. I wish I could get my money and time back from this university, but in the very least have my degree that I worked so hard for. One psychology History & Theory course in particular held me back from graduating because professor gave over 100 assignments during the semester and took off points because she didn't agree with your opinions, on opinion based assignments. Begged her and asked what I could do to bring my grade up multiple times during the semester and she refused consistently and failed me in the end. Tail end of COVID. $1000 to retake the course. I spent more time trying explain myself to these professors than I ever should have as a college student, it's their job to grade properly and set students up for success, instead they use their position to bully students. They withheld my degree over this one class and the professor has been poorly reviewed for years! Over 120 credit hours earned and thousands of dollars, please send me my diploma!

As a California boy I didn't quite appreciate Texas rain until I experienced it myself. It comes in torrents and rains buckets but sometimes only lasts for a few minutes. A fridge as a library is genius because it offers a watertight seal. No moldy books in here! Take that rain. I found a book about a South African kid who, in his teenaged years inexplicably began to become paralyzed. He was lucid and coherent for years without any way to communicate. It sounds horrible but it was an amazing read and a good reminder that I need to treat everyone with kindness and respect. There may be a lot more going on in that head than I imagine.
